This is gimmicky and intrusive to the users. How is this any different from the other 999 solutions that do the same thing?

I think you're right in pointing out this shouldn't be done without respect to the users. What we're seeing is that many users who interact with our widgets actually appreciate this - they would recommend the app they're using and tell us they recommended the app because they felt important and their opinions valued. You're 100% right that some folks might not want to interact with this and we've optimized our UX such that users who don't want to interact with this, don't need to at all. I wrote detailed answers to why we're different in the original post, so I'd be happy to hear your thoughts on what you think on these points! :)
